When couples avoid making CRISPR decisions for future children

My partner and I both carry the gene for Huntington's disease and we've been putting off deciding whether to use CRISPR for our future kids because every conversation ends with one of us getting overwhelmed and the other shutting down. We keep saying we have time to decide but I'm starting to feel like our avoidance is becoming its own decision.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The weight of genetic responsibility creates a paralysis that masquerades as patience.
